So Solid Crew dropped from Lovebox Festival bill just days before performance

Lovebox Festival is set to take place in London this weekend, with grime collective So Solid Crew among those advertised as part of the bill. That, however, seems to have suddenly change – with it being revealed that the group will no longer perform.

One of the group’s members, Harvey took to Twitter earlier this week to vent frustrations at the organisers, claiming that another act of the line-up didn’t want them to perform.

That, however, has now been retracted and denied, with both Megaman and the event organisers claiming that the cancellation was “out of their control”.

With things still unclear to the actual reasoning, FACT are speculating that the London Met police may have asked Lovebox to drop them from the bill, saying that the force “have a history of cancelling events – or requesting artists be dropped from them – if they fear violence”.

They continue to cite the case of rapper K Koke, who recently claimed that Wireless Festival cancelled his booking because the “feds phoning promoters telling them not to book me”.
